 longer than broad, the following of same thickness, but the middle ones 

 a little longer than broad, -(Page 136)- the next-last ones as long as broad, 

 distal Joint oblong, as long as the two next-last joints together. Pro- 

 notum is a little narrower than elytra, l'/3iiaies as broad as long, hard- 

 ly narrowing anteriorly, v.ith smoothly rounded, bristle-hsired sides, slight- 

 ly convex, rather finely, evenly and densely punctated, the middle-line 

 posteriorly more or less distinctly grooved; elytra scarcely longer than 

 pronotum, punctated like same; abdomen rather strongly tapering, its first 

 three free dorsal joints finely and rather densely punctated, tht two fol- 

 lowing with more scattered punctation, the fifth joint longer than the 

 fourth; the sides, especially toward tip, with long bristles. Middle and 

 hind tibiae each with a longer outstanding bristle at middle. L. 1.5-3mm.

A small species, of form, color and size about like zjstorae Thorns.

and tibiae; ivlthin subgenus Dimetrota mc st like setigerrt Sharp, from which

which distally are less thickenea.by somewhat broader pronotum, also by 



more robust and longer bristles on tlia tibiae.
